Open Extended ReactionsLOS ANGELES -- Wide receiver Keenan Allen, who spent the first 11 years of his NFL career with the Chargers, is returning to the team, as the sides agreed to a one-year deal Tuesday.
After Mike Williams' surprise retirement last month, a reunion between Allen, 33, and the Chargers seemed possible.
Wide receiver Ladd McConkey, who broke many of Allen's rookie receiving records in 2024, spends most of his time as a slot receiver, like Allen.
But after the two sides couldn't agree to terms on a contract extension, the Chargers traded Allen to the Bears for a 2024 fourth-round pick in March 2024.
But in Chicago, Allen wasn't as productive and finished last season with 70 receptions for 744 yards and seven touchdowns before he left in free agency this offseason.
